No it's not another cat!

I was babysitting for my brother kids last night and when they came to pick them up my sister-in-law (more like my sister really) gave me a gift.
She said that it was a "it reminded me of you" gift. I LOVE it!! I thought that was so sweet of her. What she did not know was that I have fallen in love with this collection. It's Jim Shore's Heartwood Creek collection and I have been wanting the quilted cat collection so bad. I had decided I wanted all of his pieces that involve a cat. As some of you know hubby has only been working partial weeks for a bit and money has been tight so I put off starting this collection. They are not expensive but I love them!

Here is the piece that she brought me



She did not know that I wanted this! He has five cats also and a Santa with a cat that I want too. A snowman too I believe. I have always shared my love of sewing quilts with my grandma so I have a special place in my heart for things that look quilted. His collection has it all....quilts and cats! My passions!!!
I just thought I would share this special moment and special gift. I just love her!! My sister-in-law and the Angel that is
